Mine came about 30 years ago when I finally understood how a radio receiver picks out the signal you want to hear from all the millions that are all around us. A feeling I'll never forget and a teacher with the patience of a saint

When I found out that the during the Falklands War, the Argentinian ship the General Belgrano wasn't in the exclusion zone when it was sunk, had never been in the exclusion zone and was in fact heading back to port. About 700 people were killed. Up to that point absolutely zero people had died in the Argentinian invasion and Thatcher did it purely for political purposes.

It made me realise that politicians don't care and kill people because of lies eg; WMDs in Iraq.

Think my biggest eureka moment came during my time as a veterinarian student. We were practicing finding cows ovaries to decide where they were in their cycle. The poor cow had to patiently stand there while I sweated and fumbled with my arm up its ar**, and I had no idea how the bleedin' ovaries where supposed to feel like. Felt to me like I had my arm stuck up a warm, soft airhangar...
Then finally I found the one on the left, and I have never in my life been so glad to feel a small, round "ball" slip into my fingers

There were no public health laws in Ankh-Morpork. It would be like installing smoke detectors in Hell.

What is it with vets and cows? Put a vet and a cow together and the first thing you know the vet has its arm up the cow's backside.
